Family environments affect siblings differently, which is known as ........
Answer: B
This is non-shared environmental influences.
Behaviour genetics divides environmental influence into shared and non-shared parts. Non-shared influences are the experiences that make siblings in the same family different from each other, such as birth order, different treatment by parents, different friends, teachers and illnesses.
Shared environmental influences are those siblings have in common, such as the parents' income, the home and the neighbourhood, which tend to make them alike. 'Family environmental influences' and 'filial influences' are general phrases, not the technical term for experiences that differ between siblings.
